 Start Recording with The Livescribe Notebook

Starting a recording with the Livescribe notebook  record function  is the easiest and most common way to record. 

2 minute and 20 second video: Write and Record 

1. Tap the Record button at the bottom of your Livescribe notebook page . 

2. The smartpen starts recording and shows an incrementing timer on the screen.

After you initiate a recording, you can use other apps on the smartpen, such

as the Calculator. A blinking Record icon appears in the bottom right corner

of your display to indicate that recording is still in progress.

Starting a Recording with NAV Plus  

Individuals can start recordings with the NAV Plus function. However this is not the most common method for recording because not all Livescribe notebooks have the a NAV Plus function.   

1. Double-tap on the center of a Nav Plus to go to the Main Menu.
2. Tap down until Paper Replay is displayed. 
3. Tap right to launch the Paper Replay app. You see the Record new session option.  
4. Tap right to select Record new session.   The display indicates that recording has been initiated.

While you are recording with Paper Replay, you can use the Nav Plus to perform any normal set of functions, such as scrolling through the menus and launching apps.

 Starting a Recording with The Smartpen 

Power Button: Recording Without Writing 

1. Press the Power button to start your smartpen.
2. Press and hold the Power button for approximately five seconds until the  display indicates that the recording started. If your smartpen is off, press and hold the power button until the start sequence and the word “REC…” appear on the display. Also, if you write on Livescribe paper after starting recording with Quick Record, your smartpen links your notes and audio.

 Stopping  a Recording 

•  Tap the Stop button in your Livescribe notebook.  
• Power off your smartpen.
  
• Use the Nav Plus.

2.  Tap right  to stop recording 

 Pausing and Resuming a Recording

1.  Tap the pause button to pause a recording.  Your smartpen shows a pause icon on the screen.

 2. Tap the Pause button again to resume recording. When recording is paused, your smartpen continues to capture notes that you write. Any notes that you write after pausing and before resuming recording are linked to the audio that occurred the moment before you tapped the Pause button. Pausing and unpausing a recording does create separate sessions. The paused and unpaused session remains as one. Starting and stopping recordings creates separate sessions.
